re: Old friends that went to jail/prison

Guy who was once my best friend had trust issues with women due to his mom cheating on his dad with a guy my friend was friends with. Well he ended up going off the deep end with pills and alcohol and it made him violent. Beat up a girl bad, got a year and half. Got out, ended up doing it again along with intimidation of witnesses. Got 48 years. Ruined his entire life. Was one of the nicest guys I knew before he lost control but the drugs and alcohol combined with taking steroids brought up some deeply embedded shite in his brain and he just lost it. Tried to help him, his family tried to him, but he wouldn’t listen. He thought everyone was against him. He literally lived in alternative reality he actually believed his own lies. Never seen someone fall so hard so fast. It was sad
